13 weeks

How many weeks: 13 (9/16/14)

Size of baby: A peach and measures 7-9 cm or 3.0-3.5 inches. The baby also weights 35 grams or about 1.25 ounces. 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Down 7.5 pounds overall. I lost 0.5 pounds in the last week.

Maternity Clothes: Nope and I'm enjoying wearing all my regular clothes. Some of my pants are actually falling down a little bit.

Gender: It's a boy! Our blood test results came back and we found out we will have two boys. Somebody help me. ;) Now we are going to have a hard time coming up with a name again, I bet.

Movement: None yet although I've read that 2nd time moms can sometimes feel movement this early. I am figuring anything I do feel is gas.

Sleep: I'm finally sleeping better and now I just feel tired all the time.

What I miss: Having more energy.

Cravings: None.

Aversions: I'm not really hungry in general.

Symptoms: Sometimes I'm getting light headed again (probably a good sign that my blood pressure isn't elevated due to stress, non-pregnancy stress). My face is in general clearing up, which is nice and I think happened last time. I remember breaking out a lot after Neil was born. It can be hard to eat at times because things in general don't taste good.

Best moment this week: We got the results back from our genetics test. No markers for Down's Syndrome, Trisomy 13, or Trisomy 18. It's still a risk factor but pretty accurate (more accurate than the NT scan). AND we found out it's a boy!!!

Looking forward to: We have an ultrasound today although I will post about it next week. I can't wait to see our baby.

Same this time: I think symptoms are kinda winding down. Last time I'm pretty sure that made me a bit nervous but this time I'm a lot more calm about it (oh oops that's a difference isn't it). I seem to be similar still in weight/stomach size so I'm kinda hoping that will stay true. If that's the case I bet I won't even try on maternity clothes until at least early November. Here's to crossing my fingers on that! I will be a bit sad putting away my regular clothes for awhile.

Different from last time: I'm definitely busier in general and not thinking a lot about this pregnancy. I'm more laid back. I haven't taken any weekly pictures. I'm not even remotely trying to insist that I might be showing already... In fact, I have asked Dave several times if you can see anything to make sure you can't (not that I think I am but then I worry maybe I'm delusional).
